Sheena remained calm and answered, “Sure.”

She turned her head to look at Skye, only to find him pale–faced, looking extremely embarrassed as he

murmured, “S–Sheena, I don’t know how to dance Lover. Am I embarrassing you?”

Sheena did not say anything, nor did she show any sign of wanting to blame him.

Erin quickly picked up the conversation, smiling smugly as she mocked, “It seems Mr. Zimmer can’t

help you. What are you going to do now? What if there’s no one willing to dance with you? You’re

making such a big fool out of yourself!”

Sheena still remained silent, her gaze scanning the men in the room.

A few young gentlemen were captivated by Sheena’s beauty and briefly considered standing up to

invite her for a dance. However, they hesitated as they believed her gown was a knockoff, afraid that

joining her on stage would lead to public embarrassment. Hence, they gave up on the idea.

After waiting for two minutes, no one in the room was willing to dance with Sheena.

Erin was overjoyed. Just as she was about to continue taunting Sheena, a deep and commanding

voice came from the back of the crowd.

“Ms. Sheena, would you be willing to dance with me?”

All eyes turned to the source of the voice, and there stood Elijah. He had quietly reentered the hall, and

his gaze fixed on Sheena.

In truth, Elijah had not left, and he had simply retreated to a quiet corner, not wanting to get involved in

the petty squabble between women. However, since Jennifer had finished her dance, Elijah thought

there might indeed be an issue with Sheena’s gown.

If he danced with her, he could discreetly hold onto her waistline and prevent any potential mishaps,

saving her from public humiliation.

Elijah believed he acted out of goodwill, but not everyone saw it that way.

“Eli…”

“Eli!”

Both Jennifer and Erin exclaimed almost simultaneously.

Erin was visibly agitated. “Eli, how could you help her? You’re Jenny’s fiance. If you don’t help Jenny

and help this woman instead, what will others think of Jenny? You need to think about Jenny!”

Jennifer’s eyes welled up with tears. She did not complain but looked at him pitifully. However, she was

secretly seething with resentment.

If Sheena accepted his offer, Jennifer, being the so–called fiancee, would be humiliated!

Moreover, Elijah had taken the initiative to invite Sheena to dance even though it could lead to

embarrassment. Yet, he had not extended the same invitation to Jennifer.

It was simply unfair!

In that instant, Jennifer’s intense feelings of resentment peaked.

Ignoring the complaints from the two women, Elijah once again turned his gaze toward Sheena, hinting

at her to accept his offer.

Sheena merely glanced at him indifferently, looked away, and walked straight toward the stage. Her

tone was icy as she spoke, “I appreciate Mr. Freeman’s kind offer, but it’s unnecessary. I believe I can

handle this dance on my own.”

“What?! Is she crazy?”

“She wants to dance such a difficult piece by herself? And did you see the expression on her face

earlier? She’s totally disregarding Mr. Freeman!”

“She really doesn’t know her place. I can’t wait to see her embarrass herself!”

The guests were buzzing with discussions and were all focused on Sheena.

Meanwhile, Jennifer secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Erin grinned. “Good!”

Rejected, Elijah’s expression soured, but he did not say anything else and returned to his seat.

Since Sheena was unappreciative of his well–intentioned gesture, he decided to mind his own

business.

On the stage, Sheena seemed oblivious to the skeptical voices below. As the music began, she quickly

immersed herself in the performance. Her entire demeanor changed.

The guests hushed as they watched her get ready to dance, eagerly awaiting the spectacle.

However, with each second, time slowly passed by.
